Hi everyone! I've finally decided to return to Hearthstone since over a year and a half. My main motivation was to see if a new player could still do some stuff, but in the end I decided to play on my account that I haven't played Hearthstone on since Karazham. Yes, Karazham, which equals not playing on it for 3 years.

But anyway, I still had quite a lot of cards to work with and over 700 spare dust. I decided to disenchant my golden Ysera (don't ask how it happened xd), craft Shudderwock and eight Jade Golem generating cards. Then I filled the deck with the rest of good stuff that seemed fit. And it went somewhere like 4 wins and 2 losses yesterday.

In the future, I'm considering this deck to be teched around. I thought of soon teching in Mechanical Whelp, Aya Blackpaw and Da Undatakah against classes whose mass removal is still playable even after Loatheb's cost increase, like Druid and Warrior. But for the normal version, I'm thinking of crafting Swampqueen Hagatha.

What do you think of this deck for now?

Hey random Q: got a friend request; assuming salt incoming but I honestly find it funny so always accept, but I couldn't accept this person's request because they "had too many friends". My question is: if someone tries to accept your request but can't for that reason, does Bnet alert you in any way since players can't send messages to non-friends to let them know hey your friend pool is full? 

Parthenon 11553 on North America server, I want to be your friend - or laugh at your salt, as the case may be :(

I was messing with the "complete my deck" option and it suggested me a deck with pyro, alex and the new naga card. Thinking on that it seemed like a good combo in a highlander priest shell so I tried to generate one.

This is what I came up with so far:

It's probably not the next meta breaker but has been a lot of fun and gives me a bit of a raza priest vibe (although the combo is so much slower and weaker than that one)

I'm very curious about this, especially because if nothing goes wrong, I will probably graduate in college as a Video Game Designer/Developer next year. Considering people is here mostly to talk a lot about games (especially Hearthstone, of course... :P), their mechanics, the balance, etc., I was wondering how many of you visit this forum and dedicate your life to this wonderful career??? :D :D :D

Can we have an option to hide people's signatures? I always have this on on every forum I visit because I find them distracting, especially when some people use animated images in their signatures.

If you all browse the sub-reddit on a regular basis I'm sure you've seen numerous posts where people are asking, begging, pleading for new game modes/formats. Funny thing is, they just shout them at the devs without any explanation as to what they really want and never get down to the nitty gritty of what they're actually asking for. Since we just had WoW classic launch and some card nerfs I think it would be a good time to elaborate on some ideas that I think could potentially be implemented into the game without much change to how the game itself functions.

The way these formats are structured is that the higher on the list the format is, the more deck restrictions that exist. The further down, more deck freedom.

The Formats are:
Grandmaster
Standard
Tables
Pyramid
Brawl Block
Wild


Grandmaster:
-The most strict format, it is designed for the players who are at the absolute top of HS.

-Uses Standard cards

-Ranks 50-1 do not exist.

-You must play 25 matches before getting your placement number, then you proceed to climbing like you would the regular ladder.
--Pretty much placement matches to see where you are in relation to the other players you face.
--The number will change while you are offline.
---You beat opponents A and B but lost to opponent C. Opponent C beats opponents A and B while you were offline and climbs higher than you.
---Prevents people from just sitting at a rank.

-This format exists so Team 5 can selectively remove cards from the format in case of them being over powered. See Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, Conjurer's Calling, and Luna's Pocket Galaxy.
--Team 5 can also selectively ban cards that just simply see too much play.
--Team 5 can also ban cards that cause an OTK, or an overpowered combo that can't be played against.

-As to whether or not this format grants eligibility for Blizzard events/tournaments should be considered. I would like for this to be the replacement for the current Standard Tournament format we have now.


Standard:
-Should be left unchanged and left the way players are familiar with.

-If the Grandmaster format is implemented, the Standard format will most likely never be used for tournaments. 


Tables:
-Play with sets during a Standard year.

-Classic and Basic sets will be legal at all tables.

-Playing at the Kraken Table means that you are playing cards that were Standard legal in the Year of the Kraken.
--So on and so forth with every other year.
--"Launch year" will be used for the table that has Naxx, GVG, BRM, TGT, and LOE

-Undecided if this should rotate monthly or have all Tables present all year long.

-Table doesn't exist until the standard year has ended.

-Obviously shouldn't have a tournament presence.

-Legend Ranks within those Tables.


Pyramid:
-Undecided if Wild cards should be used for this format.

-Restarts at the Standard rotation every year.

-At the end of every month, the top %10 of cards included into decks (not win percentage based) are banned.

-Beginning of the year and when expansions release are very unbalanced but should level out within 1-2 months after.
-New cards are only added when the mode resets at the start of the standard year.

-Possible for fun tournament setting for Blizzard to host similar to The Wild Open.

-Has Legend Rank. 


Brawl Block:
-If you've played the Brawl you know what I'm talking about, if you haven't go look it up really quick.

-Rotates monthly.

-Has Legend Rank.

-Tournaments unlikely, due to monthly rotation.

Wild:
-Yep, It's Wild.


These formats wouldn't require too much work for Blizzard to do and I think it would be healthy not only for the players being able to play their old cards, but for Team 5 to sell old packs sounds like a win-win.

If you have anything else to add don't hesitate.

Edit 10NOV: Bonus 7th format made by this guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3q4lss8mWE&list=LLxAejYPRSehTkS2VzxbXn9A&index=2&t=42s

Hi, 

Is there an incentive (beyond unique content) for finishing all 5 tavern brawl bosses this week? 

I was building a C'Thun shaman deck on this site and when I was choosing the archetype I noticed there was no option for a "C'thun Shaman". 

I would like to request that the mods add a "c'thun shaman" option to the shaman archetypes. thanks!

I'm trash at this game (hardstuck rank 10 if you must know) so perhaps this is obvious, but please bear with me.

Dinotamer Brann reads "If your deck has no duplicates, summon King Krush. My question is, why is Highlander Hunter so strong if there are literally only 2 cards that benefit from it? I understand that [Hearthstone Card (Zephrys) Not Found] is insanely good, but is the combination of it's and Brann's value so good that it's worth running only single copies of cards? Or is there some other reason as to why the deck works so well consistently? Is a 2 mana discounted King Krush plus [Hearthstone Card (Zephrys) Not Found] enough to warrant cutting half your deck?

Hi, guys!

What are the new op decks after the nerfs? I really like Singleton decks, mage reno still op?
I want to craft singleton hunter (need only 2 legendaries), what do u guys think?

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I didn't see a "Hearthstone bugs" thread to post this in. 

My problem is this: I was playing a game this morning, on the NA server, when suddenly a disconnect happened, the screen turned black, then the "Reconnecting to your game" message popped up. And then - nothing happened.

After a minute or so I restarted the client on my phone, to be greeted with the same message when the loading screen disappeared, again, black background. I switched to a different network and restarted, still the same. I restarted my phone, to no avail.

I waited until the phone screen turned off, then woke it to find an "unable to connect to your game message" with an unclickable "ok", restarted again to again see the "Reconnecting" message. It's been like that for over an hour now. 

I tried to post in the Blizzard support forum, but don't have my authenticator on me (still on an old device, never migrated it), so I couldn't log in. 

Does anyone have any ideas? 

thanks in advance! 

Just what the title says. I've been playing the quest a fair bit, as well as matching against it, and it seems to me like turn 1 quest and coin is worth doing. Sure, you've "wasted" the coin, but you get a quick tick on your quest. Has anyone collected data or have a strong feeling about whether this move is good?

With my dust I got from the recent nerfs I was able to also dust my Bloodreaver Gul'dan and make it golden.  Now I am stuck between a rock and a hard place as I am trying to determine what else I am going to craft. Here's my situation.  I am trying to get the last 100 wins with Hunter, which I loathe playing but I want my golden hero, and the last 40 wins with Warrior to get that golden hero.

With that in mind, I am wondering if crafting either of their recent quests is worth it.  I have seen people playing Wild Warrior with Hack the System and it looks wicked fun... but I am not sure if I want to spend the 1600 to do it.  Then there is Hunter, which to be fair, the only deck that I can play with that class is the Deathrattle Hunter.  I'm a combo player and occasionally dabble with aggro.  I have the Mech Hunter, but I hate playing it.  Anyone that plays these classes and/or the quests, please let me know if they are worth crafting or if there are other cards that work better

So.. Rip the peaceful botless days? 

... a return of the set I played my first Magic. Long, long ago. Just like Ravnica showed up again, can't KAMIGAWA?

I know they talk about possibly bringing back full sets to the Historic Format. Maybe at least there, although I would like to see it in Standart, too. But of course, their plans for future expansions IRL might be different ...

Hey Fluxflashor and site team,

I've been trying to track my Card Backs Collection, and with the outdated information on a lot of other sites, and the amount of card backs there are, I think Out of Cards would fall very nicely into a space for users to track things like Card Backs on their profiles, or in the Card Back section.

Cheers,

Hat

Haven't been playing Wild for a while. Tried out the "Greener Choice" deck (which is great BTW), and this happened:

My opponent played Linecracker, 2x BEEEES!!! into it, then 2x Earthen Scales. 2591 armor yay!

But hey, I still won :P My Jade dudes were at least 5-6 steps ahead, so I hung on to the board and slammed his face in so many times, while he was chipping away 3 damage at a time with Malfurion the Pestilent. It was such a long game I was scared it would be called a draw.

Anyways GG to my opponent, it was a pretty intense marathon!

I've recently figured it out by quoting some long quote chain that there is no insert a spoiler button at comment settings.

It could be good to have one, sometimes quotes can be so long and it disturbs people. I always prefer to quote someone when I answer or commenting something according to that comment. Simple replies can be confusing sometimes.

To make a long story short, There is not an "insert a spoiler" button.

Do you think to add it ? :) If you can it might be great. :)

After the nerfs Hearthstone has felt much less exciting on a game to game basis. I think I expected a bigger change after the nerfs, but everything feels the same. The only thing I've really stopped seeing is Luna's Pocket Galaxy and everything else is the same. Does anybody have any suggestions? I'll take a deck to play, a card to build around, even just half an idea, I just want to enjoy the game.

Token for Lake Seer

This is my four card mini-set for Shaman that surprisingly revolves around shuffling cards into your deck and gaining benefit from that. It's something that Shaman doesn't have yet in Hearthstone.

• Windshear Mystic gives some protection and shuffling synergy while also adding a nice Battlecry for Shudderwock.
• Elemental Vortex adds value generation in later stages.
• Lake Seer provides much needed synergy for your shuffling cards, providing you even more cards to shuffle, single-target clear and even more value generation.
• Vas'no draws cards you shuffled already while still shuffling copies of them. Useful for further synergy and tutoring some cards you need.

Hello all - yeah it's a long shot and Fireside Gatherings exist, but I'm curious if there are any Denver players out there who might want to meet up and play? I always enjoyed sitting across from my friends, laptop vs laptop, and having a drink and yelling at my bad hand, etc.... We've all moved on to our respective jobs across the country and playing online, in the confines of my home, isn't nearly as fun. 

Anyway, any takers? 

**nice proof reading on that title /sigh **
